CLINICAL REPORTS

We have achieved measurable clinical success in a good percentage of cases:

Acupuncture and TCM

We have had astonishing success with stroke or fever induced paralysis patients, and in treating joint and back pain, asthma and respiratory tract infections, headaches, high blood pressure, prostate and menstrual problems, and scar pain following operations.

Mr Thapa could not use his hand as the tendon was so tight after his accident. It took a while – but now he can eat – and dig his field again!

Tibetan medicine

Thyroid problems, diabetes, gastric problems and asthma respond very well indeed to Tibetan medicine, along with arthritis and migraine, and all conditions resulting from cold and damp.

“My joint pain was so bad I aould not wash or cook for my family. After two months with Dr Namgyal I can cook again”

Report:

How do you feel after being treated by our practitioners in the clinic for the period you have being coming?

When I first came here I was treated by acupuncturists. My leg pain got little bit better after the treatment. I got acupuncture treatment for about 1 and half year. Then I started taking tibetan herbs. It is good to get treatment here. It is very helpful.

What is your opinion about this clinic? (Services/behaviour)

I like this clinic. Herbs are also cheap and affordable. Staffs are also very nice. I like coming to this clinic.

Have you found any change or difference between this clinic and other hospitals?

Yes I went to many hospitals and took medicine but it didn’t help me. But after coming here I am feeling much better. Everything here is nice.

Mr X couldn’t sleep ‘my family are all trying to kill me’ he said, and he saw large animals in his room every night.“I am afraid all the time now’ he said. Homoeopathic stramonium lets him sleep all night and his fears have gone completely.

Massage

is used to treat successfully chronic or acute muscle and head pain, frozen shoulder, ‘tennis elbow’ – often supported by acupuncture.

Mr Sushil hadn’t been able to turn his head left or right for three months. No treatment had helped – x-ray, pain relief – all to no avail. After the first massage his head began to move. Three treatments later and Mr Sushil can turn his head freely.

Sacro-cranial therapy

helps head and back pain, emotional distress, digestive disorders.

More unusual cases we have seen include a 25inch fluid filled cyst extending from the neck, a young man with headaches for 20 years that ended when his small forehead scar was treated, elephantaiasis and a wide range of black and white rashes.

REFERRAL

We refer around 2% of cases for treatment or tests to the local hospital or the Primary Healthcare Centre, ‘Shanti Nepal’ next door to us.

We have an excellent relationship with Shanti Nepal and are moving towards working in close collaboration with their maternity unit to turn breech babies using acupuncture or homoeopathy and treat post-caesarean scars which can be the cause of continuing back pain, menstrual disorders, lethargy and gastric problems.
